' Xi said China is comprehensively deepening reform, opening up more to the world, sticking to the rule of law, reinforcing the build-up of the ruling party and making efforts to realize the "Two Centenary Goals," i.e., by 2021 when the Communist Party of China(CPC) celebrates its centenary, China aims to complete the building of a "moderately prosperous society in all respects; and by 2049, when the People's Republic of China marks its centennial, the country aims to be a modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious.
